Trend Alert: Goodie Nude Shoes

FabSugar — Wed, 20 May 2009 06:50:22 -0700

Nude shoes look great with anything, really. They elongate the leg and are the sexiest neutral around. Or, you can opt to go head-to-toe nude like Penelope Cruz, goodie nude shoes. Her banded Dolce & Gabbana is near nude perfection; her satin Very Prive Louboutins are insanely Fab. I have some classic nude patent Brian Atwood pumps that I always grab in a crunch. It's a worthy investment, but I recommend shopping for your nudes in the flesh to ensure a perfect skin match.

Fab Body Guide: My Skins' 20 Different Skin Tones

FabSugar — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 15:00:22 -0700

The problem with a lot of "nude" lingerie these days is that designers fail to realize that we don't come in just three skin tones: fair, medium, and dark. That's why My Skins lingerie is so great. Granted, they don't have a color for every skin tone in the universe, but 20 color options is a far cry from the usual three. To help us find our perfect hue, My Skins has created a cool color matching app where you can match your skin tone to its color chart. From there, you can order My Skins bras and panties made in your chosen color. Pretty simple and genius. Why didn't anyone think of this before?

SOPHIATRESS is not decked out in red and green, but she still looks festively minimal. I like how she styled her blue one-shouldered dress with nude accessories. The perfect way to show that stellar tan. Happy Holidays!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Velvet
Shoes: BCBGirls
Purse: Botkier

Congrats to SOPHIATRESS!

Fab's 10 Fall Essentials: Anything Nude

FabSugar — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 16:00:22 -0700

To many, the color nude immediately conjures up images of granny underwear. It's time to banish those images and welcome nude with open arms. It's already gearing up to be one of the colors of the season, so start incorporating it into your wardrobe. It should be easy because the color is not limited only to tops. It's current on dresses, skirts, footwear, bags, you name it.

If you're still hesitant, buy a nude item that incorporates black in it, like this Marciano Agathe Tank ($88). For a more casual approach, invest in a few nude tees and tanks like Leighton Meester.

Time to stop and smell the roses!

If you're in the mood for girly, consider these vintage nude heels ($48), particularly if you're a size 8. They're from the '70s, and have a cute fabric rosette center - perfect for a feminine Spring frolic.

Look of the Day: Nude But Not Naked

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 14:02:33 -0700

Sometimes nude dresses can be really hard to pull off - you have to find the right shade of nude to complement your skin tone rather than clash with it. That said, shini has a done a fabulous job of matching her skin tone with her nude but not naked look. The dress she wore to her end of the academic year party is very simple, but it flatters her. And I love the red clutch and heels she added to make the outfit pop! Beautiful!

Here's what she has on:

Dress: Bershka
Shoes: Barrats
Bracelet: Mango
Bag: Dolcis

Congrats to shini!

In The Nude...Lips That Is

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 10:27:11 -0800

With all the dazzle and dressing up during the holidays it's best to leave some things minimal, or rather, nude. When holiday parties abound, a nude lip whispers subtle femininity. This trend has been gracing the pouts of Hollywood, as seen in this weekend's Life & Style, as well as the Spring '07 runways, as beauty marked by CocoChic. This look is especially necessary when glamming up your eye makeup - to create balance and maintain a complete, not overtly made up, face.

There are some great options listed here, to see my designer and non-designer picks for nude gloss, read more

Maybelline Lip Polish Hi-Shine Color, Nude Flash, $4.99.

Stila Lip Polish, Glisten, $20.

Philosophy Big Mouth Lip Sheer, Nude, $22.

If you're going for the smoky eyed seductress look, the au natural barely there "I swear I'm just wearing mascara look" or the summertime tan flushed look, then undoubtedly you are going to need a great nude lip color. Have you tried Laura Mercier's Evolution of Colour for Lips in pink suede or brown suede? It's brand-new and the perfect summertime look!

It's packaged in a compact of four colors that you can wear individually or mixed together. The texture is sheer, creamy and nude - perfect! The compact retails for $26 and you can buy it here.

United Nude Metallic Leather Pumps: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 08:00:22 -0800

Marc Jacobs created one strange shoe for his Spring 2008 collection, but that doesn't mean it should be translated onto the streets. United Nude's Metallic Leather Pumps ($148, originally $236) have the same inverted heel as Marc's version. I would never dare walk a mile (or even an inch) in these shoes; they're unsafe and unstylish. Are you with me?
